Live from Old Bridge Township-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Good morning -- Its race day here at Englishtown and because of the ugly weather thats on it way we'll hurry the program along this morning .Its slightly overcast already but the Sun is trying to peek thru from time to time .The storm is coming and I'm sure of it - how you ask ? Woke up this morning with a terrible sinus migraine and thats a sure sign for me .And my bad luck continued after that - jumped in the shower and after a few seconds it dawned on me that I never turned the water heater on this morning .......my mind must be on "other" things .

Speaking of the weather it looks like this - 76 degrees -70% humidity - barometer at 29.68 with the final DA @ 2300 feet .

One last thing - congrats go out to my longtime friend Dennis Banach who runs out of the Chapman Racing Stables and yesterday set the CF/S National Record with his '88 Daytona - Dennis , like many of us "old timers" still believes that piece of paper has meaning and value - way to go my friend ...............

11 AM update - Sun is out - and the Jet is on track and running ......but if you look at the Radar screen thats a whole different story ........cross your fingers .And we've got some wind ..........

On another note -- I thought the pit spot I picked out was close to staging and a pretty good deal - now not so much .....see below pics .

11:45 - Starting to see Stockers riding around and warming up ..........

Got together tonight with some friends to have a litlle birthday celebration for John Leach - longtime Stock racer from Maryland - funny thing is no one asked how old he is now - guess it doesn't matter anyway as everyone had a nice time with plenty of chow and a great cake ..........Happy Birthday John ! !
